CAIR-LA to Offer Reaction to Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban 2.0’

(ANAHEIM CA., 3/6/17) – On Monday, March 6, representatives of the office of the Greater Los Angeles area of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) will be available to offer reaction to the signing of President Trump's new "Muslim Ban 2.0" executive order.

"This watered down ‘Muslim Ban 2.0’ was revised to achieve the same unconstitutional policy outcome as the first deeply flawed executive order, said CAIR-LA's Executive Director Hussam Ayloush." "We believe this desired policy outcome is fulfilling Trump’s campaign pledge of banning Muslims from entering the U.S. This order continues to criminalize Muslims and does not make America any safer."

Last month, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld a lower court’s ruling putting Trump’s original Muslim ban on hold.

CAIR-LA urges community members to report any bias incidents to police and to CAIR'-LA Civil Rights Department at 714-776-1177 or by filing a report here.

CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
